The Denver Broncos have held preliminary talks with the agent of Chris Harris Jr. concerning a new deal for the cornerback, but the Broncos want to wait until after free agency and the draft to get anything done, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic.

There seems to be mutual interest between the two sides.

Harris is coming off of a 2018 campaign in which he missed the final four games due to a broken fibula.

In the 12 games he was on the field, he registered 49 tackles, a sack, three interceptions, 10 passes defended and a defensive touchdown en route to a Pro Bowl appearance.

The 29-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of Kansas, went undrafted but landed with the Broncos in 2011.
